you can grind, but you will end with up 2 lvl 50 jobs and nothing done on the story
btw, Dark Knight is locked further down the story
And Dark Knight was level 30
oh yeah DRK is locked behind the entirety of the 2.X quests
But you have to get to Ishgard
Dark Knight need level 50 job to unlock, and it starts at lvl 30
so if you rush you'll probably be burned out
What class are you playing now?
fortunately for SAM you just need a level 50 job
So you can just play that until HW to tide you over
You also need SB for SAM
does this classes start at 50?
Stormblood jobs start at 50
hmm
If I'm 70 whm and want to swap to Sam should i just do duty finder to level?
Sam and red mage
Roulettes and dungeons
yeah no expansion jobs start pre leveled
Fate trains
Daily roulette > highest level dungeon (but not 50/60/70) > POTD/HOH only if roulette/dungeon has way worse queue
Hunting
Beast Tribes offer a decent bit of EXP
I haven’t utilized those yet myself
FATE train is fine if you don't want to do dungeons or potd, hunting/beast tribes are daily stuff don't rely on them too much
I usually just grind fates while dungeon queue
If I don’t have anything else to do
Like hunts
I haven’t tried beast tribes myself though
Cool
What do they even make you do ?
They offer 5-15% of your current EXP bar if it's current expansion
Oh nice
Is it just like leves?
They make you do chores they dont want to do 
mostly just running around and killing/crafting/gathering stuff

there are daily quotas
I thought SAM started at LVL 1, I was planning to play with him through the story, now I know it starts at 50, I'm just going to enjoy the story, and again, thanks for replying you all
Playing on PS4 is way harder than PC
Wow so fun. But I’ll do it for the exp.
so don't rely on them solely
Enjoy Quiode.
UI is so big
Get a keyboard and mouse for PS4
Hard to see
adjust your UI then
My friend plays that way
I'll have to mess w the settings more
You can adjust the ui and hotbars to your liking
the UI is fully customizable
Good luck
the first thing i remove is the inventory grid and the menu shortcut (the 5 cicle buttons)
I was just gonna come here to ask how I should level from 70 to 80
Roulettes are currently done
So since I skipped msq and level, what are some content related things I need to seek out to unlock?
roulette > dungeons > FATEs
What is the best resolution when playing ffxiv
at 70, you want to do the lvl 69 dungeon
But dungeon queues are long for dps so yeah I guess fates and best tribes
Why the 69 one
you want to be above 720 at the very least
And until when?
cuz level 70 dungeons were the endgame dungeon in Stormblood so they gave no exp
71?
And speaking with dungeons, any place with guides for all the dungeons mechanics?
in Shadowbringers, these lvl 70 dungeons give some exp, but not as good as lvl 69 dungeon
you are expected to learn and ask, there is no list

What
then it is just whatever is comfortable for you
(i don't even think the game can physically go lower...)
Hmm maybe I'll just run around and do every side quest ever
Hey I’m new to this game what’s the recommend US server and is their a guild for helping new players?
Oh a FC would be great
Arcturus, just look out for 
Yeah blue is the content right?
Just so much to do maybe if I do all of those it'll feel like less too
I saw some people fondling with their resolutions and were able to make the viewing able wider.
Lol
it comes down to personal preference
your question is "what is the best resolution when playing ffxiv"
the game window can be dragged into 21:9
but i don't know what you are using
you can even play the game on 4:3 if you want to
@amber timber Aether/Primal/Crystal. I recommend preferred servers for the experience boost if you don’t mind the possible wait time to make a character on them
okay I am on primal
!preffered primal
Any good classes to learn the basics of the game or it all very straightfoward
!preffered primal
spelled preferred wrong
!preferred primal
... Famfrit is open... during primetime?
i personally recommend tank
but it comes down to personal preference
tank, healer, dps, all can do the story and learn the gameplay
ive only really ever played wow before this, is there any thing similar to classes from that game
I was always a DK, a Hunter, and a Warrior
the closest thing to something from WoW is black mage
which is similar to boomkin in WoW
oooooo i love druid in wow
whats the best way to get the 2nd tier tank mounts playing solo?
also I guess BRD is similar to ench shaman if they were ranged
for wow player coming into XIV, i just have reminders:
- this game doesn't have race-specific jobs
- you can play all jobs on a single character
- there are no stat difference in race (people who know the details, don't waste text space talking about this, because the discussion will just end with "so effectively there is no difference")
yoooo im boutta unlock lieutenant 2nd class, where do i go in mist to grab an aprtment
The big apartment building. It has a special icon on the map
So im thinking of black mage and primal, is there a guild on there or anyone on there that I can add if i want to message in game
when you cast glam, is it on the item or the item slot? Meaning, if i swap gear, will the glam remain?
ite. can i set that as my home btw? like get a teleport button for the apartment?
Glamours are on specific items
item
weak, so basically pointless to do while leveling
use a glamour plate
^
ezpz
glamour plate works on gearset, not on the slot
but it is miles easier than using direct glamour
they're not consumable?
Glamour plates lets you apply glamour for free provided you're in a city
costs nothing to cast the glamor plate, you can just do it on all the new equipment you get
glamour plate only need the one-off cost in setting up
Ahh ok. thought i'd have to buy a new one every few levels
is every apartment in mist the same by the way? are there any differences among the different rooms?
more details on Glamour Plate
They're all the same
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
thx
just in case you want to dye these
dyes applied on the glamour plate are store on the plate, so if you remove the plate, the dye is gone, so don't use expensive dye there
you want to use expensive dye on the item itself
then access the dyed gear from your glamour plate
so what class becomes the black mage?
ty
So this homeworld i picked farmfrit
Does the lock me out from other worlds on primal or not?
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
Is it true that the developers occasionally play the game?
Awwwwh
yoshi-p regularly plays on a JP server but they do have admin accounts for events and such
That’s quite heartwarming for some reason
I appreciate the game even more now, the developers as well
Yoshi occasionally comes to other servers and hangs out
Is this what I'd want as a white mage in regards to macro for raise
I don't have the ressurrection or ascend skill actions yet
that's Scholar and Astrologian
So I could end it at raise
It'll work, but it would be better to have two buttons if at all possible
I'm not a fan of having swiftcast as part of the macro but ehhh

i personally only uses the /p raising part and do the raise manually
Have the text be its own thing
one button for Swiftcast, a second button to macro Raise and /p
If that's the case why bother with macro at all
The only point is for it to be paired together right
the /p part tells your party member you are raising
You generally shouldnt as macros are slower and unreliable
so other healer or people with raise spell don't waste their time
And you lose control
Who's telling you to use the macro? lol
raise macro is fine
Someone here told me about it yesterday
raise macro and ground target macro is fine
If anything just raise and text is fine itself
/\
What if people don't bother looking at the text chat though
that's their issue
With the text after the raise with a wait1 so you dont spam chat
I already checked out all the se and for raise I would like to use se.7
people wil hear the chime, if they still don't want to read, that's their problem, not yours
Would you mind helping me form the macro if it's not trouble for you 😅
is wait on raise macro good?
/micon Raise
/p Raising <t> <se.7> <wait.1>
/ac Raise
I just spam mine
Smart
Trying to get it off
Ty lchronos
i think the syntax should be correct, Vinyl, can you check?
Hopefully I understand macros better soon so I don't have to rely on help for it lol
I usually set wait2 for the msg so it doesnt get spammed
Should be fine
you don't really have to understand macros
it is very niche for combat
it is for convenience and QoL in other areas
I personally swap the chat line and raise to avoid the chat spamming but thats me
quality of life
Ah gotcha
What is syntax? The wording for the macro you cooked up for me?
/micon Raise
/p Raising <t> <se.7> <wait.1>
/ac Raise
i have a macro to toggle duty list and utility hotbar (mounts, teleport)
wait, yeah, the chat should at the end
If you put the chat before the wait, you'd end up spamming the chat
I'm too afraid to edit it 
it won't set the game on fire if you type it wrong
Hahaha
if that's what you are worrying about
/micon Raise
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/p Raising <t> <se.7>
/\
I'm more worried about having something become inconvenient but not enough so that I realize it. Then I play through the whole game with it
valid fear
Ofc you can duplicate the raise line for it to have a slightly better chance to fire
With the wait on the last line
my recommendation:
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/micon Raise```
^
Like getting all the way to ShB before realizing that you can teleport by clicking the aetheryte icon that's right on the map
repeat the raise line as many times as can fit
What I don't understand, why repeat it?
if you press the macro slightly before the GCD is up, or while you're in the middle of an animation from using another spell/ability
Repeating the line helps it fire
with only one line it'll try to execute it while you're in that animation
or realizing you can highlight the aethryte icon on map by holding ctrl so quests markers dont block it 😄
and that'll fail and it won't execute
repeating the line multiple times has it spam it that many times in a row, more likely to have it go off reliably
Ok so you have raise activation 4 times in that. How much time is between each of those 4 activations?
One frame iirc
it sends one per frame yes
tldr: macro is weird and not as reliable as you think
Do you have an average of how long the activation window is across all 4 of them?
nope
Ok
/merror off
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/micon Raise
also I just listed 4 there just as an example
you should put the line as many times as can fit
I'll try this then but how do I add the party msg and se.7 to it :S
(that's why i just have a single line of /p raising <t> <se.1>)
(and do the raise manually)
You just add it after the wait.1 line
/merror off
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/p Raising <t> <se.7>
/micon Raise
Is that right?
Yes
Also what does /merror off mean?
It turns off macro error messages
So you're not constantly spammed with "you cant do this right now" system messages
should we also just teach the Asylum / Ground AOE macro?
might as well
at this point
Eh i like trying it without it...controller ground aoes aren't that bad
Do you have to manuially aim it?
the macro i know allows manual aiming too
Yes, but i have the ground target aoe a set distance and just control it via camera
Instead of doing that screwy hold L1 shit
So looking up a question I accidently came across an ancient thread somewhere with super outdated info. I thought I needed to earn lvls in Conjurer before I could be a Paladin (the truth is I just needed to do more main quest.
Was there any benefit to me developing my conjurering levels?
No
Thats extremely outdated info
ancient thread
if you have any questions, try to ask in reddit or here
don't do your own homework (as admirable as that is)
General rule is ignore stuff thats over like a year old or so
question i finished shadowbringers a few days ago; what are good ways to make gil with a combat class?
As expansions are every 2 years
even contents released years ago can get adjustment
Treasure maps
I am newer and try not to be a burden lol.
You'll have to buy them and cut into profits buuuut if you get lucky and get the rare mats its gucci
@faint flare So did you have to change any settings around for asylum yourself?
I dont no
You said it stays a certain distance and then you control using camera
Yes, the ground targetting placement kinda remembers how far away it.is from you
So i just move my camera around
mk well maybe I'll wait to try that out
Which macro number should I be using for the raise macro
Oh wait actually I don't even know how to set this macro lmao
I've only ever set macro for L3 and R3
Which I assigned through keybind
But this is different
just any
hey i got a question i moved to korea form the US and get a 403error?i seen some post but they are like 2 years old
What are you trying to access?
you're more than likely going to have to use a vpn to play the game if you're trying to play from korea
as KR has its own client
ah... any really good vpns? prices don't matter
Is it still possible to get the rathalos mount?
not sure as i don't use any myself, but a quick glance at some of the old threads someone mentioned they used UltraSurf
and that they only need to have it open to launch the game, and can close it once they are in
i'll look into it
Hikari yeah, the trial is still accessible
what level is it accessible?
70 iirc? Might be wrong on that
yes its a lvl 70 trial
im only 56
how good is ninja as a dps?
I noticed im pretty squishy but im hoping the damage output at higher levels make it worthwhile
anyone know which color is Lightning's Skin, Hair, and eyes? on the Midlander color paletes

oh thanks
Everything has pros and cons. We can give you those on ninja if you wish but really. Play whatever you find fun
real quick
about to buy an apartment i think
can i set this place as a home point to return to?
or any kinda teleport button
Genjutsu of that level doesnt work on me
Yes you get a teleport I believe
Its not mind-tricks you goofball
the difference between "most" dps and least
is not alot
I mean the link

If you own an apartment, it shows up in the teleport list and is 1/4 the normal cost
but can't be set as a home point
coo coo
btw are these things listed by datacenter or by server or how does it work?
are they opening any new plots residential areas/wards any time soon?
All the apartments you can see are apartments on your own server. You can't view other servers' apartments from where you are
is there a quick way to jump between residential wards
Its a high possibility that the new Ishgard restoration will lead to more player housing Hikari
I'm not sure, I think you might have to return to the entrance each time
Only through the person that would normally take you to the district if you didn’t enter by aetheryte
but I don't believe we have anything confirmed about housing?
new ishgard restoration?
Yeah theres a thing running right now where a part of ishgard is getting restored after the Dragonsong War
with help from players of course
you need to clear the Heavensward MSQ I believe?
Bruh
No hard confirmation yet, but an aerial view shows 30 house-shaped squares in the right ratio of a housing district
I think access to Ishgard is one of them 
3.3 MSQ completed and a level 20 crafter or level 10(?) gatherer
You de best.
Ive been told to set aside 6mil for large plots
6m is only enough for a small
Large plots need 50m
? o_o
hmm
I bought my small for 3.4m
I hope you are kidding
Yeah, 6m can only get you small plots
oh is it different for fresh plots?
!faq housing
play the marketboard.
any tips on what to sell?
its all server based
I guess ill stick with gigantoad and aldgoat leather for now
Just being frugal and capitalizing on certain events gets you the richest
I made like...5 mil offloading a TON of materia before Eden's Gate released.
and crafting mats.
its a small drop in the pond considering. But its enough to see me through
Well when 5.3 releases it comes with a new raid tier
so you could do what I did
if you have the resources
im guessing its level locked at 70 or 80
the new raid teir is 80 yes
Rip I got a long way to go
I'd focus on getting a character to cap before cash Hikari
you already have plenty of cash for your level
400k before heavensward? thats pretty solid
have they ever released a new raid at lower then max level? that doesn't seem like a good idea xP
Not to my knowledge Drake
Is their a loose hierarchy of best dps classes that I, as a Dancer, should be partnering with over other classes in duty finder trials, etc.?
I would have more if i didnt succumb to the overpriced stuff on the market board
That would be a question for the Balance @cold scarab
They would have the math numbers for optimizing Dance Partners
for arcanist does my carbuncle take damage or is it just always there unless i unsummon it or whatever
Carby's cant get hit
carbuncle never takes damage
changed in Shadowbringers to make them intangible
they used to take damage, some could even tank for you
rip chicken nugget
@cold scarab assuming equal skill/gear, SAM/BLM/SMN/MNK > DRG/NIN/RDM/MCH > BRD > DNC
Huh. samurai first Im assuming cause they generate more esprit?
Not really. They just hit hard
And %boost to their damage helps most overall.
if I'm reading that right, SAM/BLM/SMN/MNK are equally best, given the arrows. could be wrong ofc
Monk would give you more espirit in theory. But RNG is RNG.
yeah I suppose thats right. Are monks like the "quickest"
cause 3 classes have speed increases
melee*
I pick the monks usually since i see then less often than the others. 
GL would put Monks at a breakneck gcd speed no?
how do i put furniture and whatnot in my room
that's like my entire gaming life @whole wasp lul
There is a housing option when you are inside a thing you own
@cold crescent bottom right social -> housing
there's a bit of normalization/balancing across jobs for esprit generation. The fact that MNK goes quicker doesn't really change things
like beds and summoning bells and whatnot
There are vendors in whatever housing district you're in
they will sell basics
everything else is crafted/found/bought
I would reccommend you buy a permit for a housing vendor but I believe those are unavailable for appartments
There should be a housing vendor in the ward too.
it says that i already have a summoning bell and an orchestrion?
the npc said that
Check your inventories/retainers/saddlebags
or your house itself? it can store housing items
maximum of 2000 iirc?
can i get a glamor dresser btw
that you can get. It doesn't log you out like an inn room tho
where would that be available
So how long do I keep this sprout status?
Im pretty sure you can buy bell from marketboard too.
@nova whale 168 hours in game and completing "requiem for heros" 
Which is basically the last quest before shadowbringers.
Hey guys
You can turn it off if you really want to for some reason
been out for a while
168 is a really weird number 😂 thanks!
it was patch 5.2
Oh dang
So yorha dark apocalpyse is the 2nd nier raid?
No. first.
Wait what
Dark apocalpyse is the name for the whole raid series which has 3 fights total.
only 1 neir raid right now
Ah ok
Is there a guide of sorts for rerolling on WT?
I am seeing the trailer
And it has so many new cutscenes and bosses
@leaden ginkgo there is a WT calculator somewhere. Try googling.
If you see that Mako you've done the 5.2 MSQ
Those are most likely for 5.3 which is the next patch. Expected late june but most likely delayed due to the rona
That's the Ruby weapon trial
Why tf they put it here
yeah thats available now
Thats the ruby weapon trial yup.
Oh ok
Everything in the trailer is in game
So I gotta unlock him via a quest?
Its avaliable as a
in the ala mihgan quarter
the quest unlock is in the lochs
Oh yeah I see the eden savage trials too
Ifrit and garuda lmfao
Ok thanks guys!
Btw how did Ifrit transform from a dog into a man?
Don't you remember the first set of Eden quests?
He looks like the ff15 version of him in the new eden trial
I skipped everything, they explained there?
these are memories constructed from our thoughts
our memories of those we fought
We were tasked with thinking of Ifrit and Garuda.
We simple mixed up who had what body
that's not quite it
So is the new Ifrit model his ff15 version? if it is, that'd be sick, he hot as hell
also ryne has a bit of an effect on things as well
part of the reason why titan has wheelies
I see, I did notice garuda look like a man instead of a robot bird
as of current patch btw. We have seen everything in the 5.2 trailer
in game
I just ran the trailer back to refresh my memory
We tell rynne about it. Rynne visualizes and tells eden about it. Basically its like a telephone game.
And things get shuffled around.
Ok I see
why do I have no progress in this achievement when I've done collectables?
Thank u yall
have you gathered collectables with your collector's glove on
Thats gatherers collectables yup
I've had the ability on before though
But did you ever actually gather anything?
Just pushing the button doesn't count
You have to successfully gather
there's a special separate box that pops up for gathering collectibles
only certain items can be gathered as collectables, and it'll pop up an extra window when you try to gather them with the glove on. Where you can use appraisal skills to raise collectability, then press a button to gather each time
Are there any thing in particular I should know about choosing a Grand Company?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies
Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.
thanks!
hey I'm new to this community i just got a message "You have been dismissed from both the party and the duty." did i disconnect or was i kicked
Is there a place I can search for server population?
You are kicked, Myth
Aether seems kinda unpopulated compared to Primal
Can you describe what happened? Which dungeon?
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79.
If got a level 70 on Goblin(NA) server back when I played on NA, but I'm not on Phoenix(EU). Do I still get the above xp boost on my Eu Phoenix character?
That's universal
it was copper mines
It is not a server thing

3-frame fluctuation is barely noticeable tbh
Hm so if I connect to north american it seems to be a bit high?
Is that playable tho?
it's playable but it'll definitely have a bit of impact/feel different
thats average ping i would say
mm that's definitely a bit higher than average
With american dream
playable if you get used to it but if you are already spoiled with <100ms, it will feel poopy
I feel like people more frendly there
Like I give 1 look at discord and everyone be from the US and shit
How does fester/aetherflow for arcanist?
pretty sure thats just because its an english speaking primary
not gonna see alot of people who don't speak english on discords that primarily do
Yeah but they also feel more human u know
Like the bigger the country, the bigger the hearts
Crap...
Energy Drain for SMN
!action Energy Drain
No
lol
What
!action Energy Drain SMN
!action Energy Siphon
Something like this
Welp, Fester does additional damage on targets affected by your damage over time, so try to make that happen
say if I wanna level up all the crafting classes at the same time, should I go GC daily or do collectable?
Energy Drain/Siphon is on 30s cooldown and give you Aetherflow to do Fester or ||Painflare||
yeah try to fester once your dots are up
Use them whenever they are ready and make sure you spent those Aetherflow
some people argue that collectable mission gives out more exp so I am confused
GC daily/Ishgard/Leves
i mean gc dailies are once a day
How long do I get to keep these dots
so should be doing those every day
Or just until I use them
30 sec?
30 seconds, then refresh them
try to keep them up always
you can mass turn in collectables
You should have dots on your enemies at all time
collectables on the other hand can be done ad nauseum, so you can do those repeatedly
Unless they are gonna die in 2-3 spell cast
Start casting miasma, then weave in bio right after, when the DoT countdown is over or close to over
Oh I meant the aetherflow dots lmao
my time is quite limited rn tho. GC is already a bit time consuming already so I only do GC so far.
Aetherflow ain't dots
before energy drain is up
Until you use them
Aetherflow is your resource
Then I would just do the gc dailies if you're strapped for time
but its not a dot, its a resource that allows u to use certain abilities
lol sorry I saw the shiny diamond and my first thought went to dots to describe them
Use them when you can, it takes about 2 GCDs to be able to Fester again, if still Arcanist without any SpS changes
ty all 🙂
Dot is short for damage over time
hahaha. 👍
!action Fester
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If target is suffering from a Bio or Miasma effect inflicted by you, Fester potency is increased to 200 for one effect, or 300 for both
Effect only applies when the original spells were cast by you.
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
So basically I should have my aetherflow ready, drop miasma, bio, fester, then ruin and reapply my dot when it runs out
Read your tooltips
Btw considering how the game is 13+, am I able to report players who be squatting naked on another players dead naked body for indecent public behavior?
You can, but no one gives a damn
I visit Omega server everyday and I see 2 people at limsa doing that in public
limsa is a wretched place
People be just walking by and once they see it they be mesmerized as hell stand there for some good minutes
You can, but no one gives a damn
@warped nest thank u imma report them mfs
Another question about harassment is uh
Can u get banned for forcing people out of their usual afk spots?
no? O_o
Cuz if there some people we dont like, me and my frneds just be stripping naked and sitting together at their afk spot and they just go mad af and leave
unless that "forcing" is a bunch of verbal harrassment
Oh dang thats good
And if I spam indecent emotes at them?
I got an elf character and one of my emotes let me do like a
when i see two people with matchign names sitting ineach others laps in limsa
Air thrusting gesture
i get my whole fc together so we can sit on them
With sound
And they go wild af
Nice
Sound like my type of gang
Yall recruiting?
do i need my anima weapon equipped to light farm?
You need it when you kill the last boss of the dungeon but not otherwise
ah, what if im farming a9s
ok so stupid question please excuse me XD
How can I tell if I'm getting the xp bonus or not, does it show in chat?
then you need it equipped
Then you need it
crap
Since you can't change mid battle and it needs to be equipped when it dies
it shows up in your chat log like so
You gain 9,600 (+100%) arcanist experience points. @frank anchor
depending on what bonuses you have active will change the %
oh, does it only happen on quest completions ?
no
on anythign that gives u exp
in fact most of the bonus experience buffs do not apply to quest completion
its only road to 70 that does
You gain 322 (+17%) arcanist experience points.```
and sometimes I get 50% so not sure what the formula is :P
Hey guys I was wondering, do I buy shadowbringers now or wait for a ps4 discount? I don't know how much will I wait till it's on sale on the ps store
in the open world, you can sometimes get chain bonuses
depending on how fast you kill mobs
bc if ur on like arr/heavensward theres no really reason to buy it now
they just recently had a shb sale i believe, on pc at least
which the higher the chain, the more % bonus
not sure how long until the next sale
*real
main is level 70, and I'm level 45 atm doing MSQ level 45 and side quests around that level
aaaa
I am at the end of heavensward
but they are seperate characters
i'd recommend just playing through stormblood
and waiting for a sale
and if u finish stormblood and it's still not on sale then just buy it
for the exp stuff what exp bonus are u trying to get?
Can you still learn blue mage spells if you're in a party with someone higher level than you? i.e. I'm a lvl 20 blue mage, and my friend is lvl 67
fairly certain you can, so long as you see the spell cast before its killed
LF help on exali server for leveling 66-70 want to spam dungeons to get to 70 asap
Guess stuck with HOH 😦 since no MSQ till 70
Can you duo The Great Hunt EXyet? 🤔
sacrificing 300 DH (and allegory) for 300 det and 30 str wurf?
@abstract peak its soloable by some select classes now
in most cases mainstat > substat
So what about a WHM/WAR or WHM/GNB combo, both at 480 item level?
doable, most of the damage is avoidable in Rathalos
and you have 10 mega pots
and 2 deaths for free total
Oh right it heavily nerfs healing.
not just heavily nerfs
healing isn't possible
shields are though
you can heal in phase 1
just fine
Right, have to get something else geared up for the wife then I suppose, I think her best set is WHM
Which still hits pretty hard for a healer.
lvl 60 onwards potd or hoh is better?
its fine to run WHM, my friends and i do it all the time
or both are roughly the same
Can trial players join whatever guilds are called in this game? 🤔
potd is good until 61 iirc
hoh 61-70
Can trial players join whatever guilds are called in this game? 🤔
@rocky arrow nope unfortunately not
and 70-80?
ideally should save roulette to get from 60 to 61
70-80 you either queue for dungeons and do fates/pixie dailies/hunt bills while waiting or do trust dungeons
i havn't clear potd to lvl 50 yet so i'm thinking to use lvl 60 to try clear to lvl 50 potd to unlock hoh
your level outside of PotD is not relevant to inside
other than the amount of exp you earn from clearing sets of 10 floors
Hey um so I bough a jump potion for bard and i dont find the music instrument? Any idea as to why??
i mean should i earn exp for lvl 60 char from lvl 1 to 50 in potd or i jus use lower lvl which is more worth it?
perform is unlocked via a side quest in gridania
Okay thank you so much
Hello, you beautiful people, how do you upgrade your mount's speed?
first tier is given to you via specific main scenario quests
except for shadowbringers zones, which you need to use bicoloured gems to buy the first tier
second tier is gotten via allied seals (for a realm reborn zones) or centurio seals (for heavensward and stormblood zones)

relic weapon?
@remote lintel yes
sigh wtb faster queue to do dungeons/leveling to 70
Does the game go on sale very often?
Not really...maybe like twice a year
Oof.
Then again, $60 isn't terrible for the whole shabang.
Thanks for answering my random questions duders.,
@glossy sapphire level 60 and beat the MSQ "Heavensward"
Are free companies and fellowships one and the same?
No, FC are your typical guild
free companies are player guilds
ahhh
@glossy sapphire level 60 and beat the MSQ "Heavensward"
thank you im still at heavensward
Is there a list of free companies in-game? Like the list of fellowships?
yes
not in-game no
you can look up free companies on the lodestone
you can look them up in game too, just doesn't have as much info 😛
But you can only apply in-game
Do they have an activity measurement? I wouldn’t want to join a dead company
iirc
looking them up in-game either requires knowing someone who's in the free company
or going to their house (assuming they have one)
In the description it shows the number of active members with the total number of members
ah ok, my memory is off then
It’s ok. thank you for attempting to help : )
Hello so i bought a jump potion for bard. Ive been looking for the quest to unlock he’s music but cant seem to find it
its in old gridania, near the amphitheater
Plucking the Heartstrings is the name of it
Ok ty
Can i no longer play for free to level 35 anymore? I had to reinstall the game on my new computer and it is asking me for a registration code
I tried to. It asked for a code
No i never subbed or bought the game
try downloading this instead and see if that works
I'll try that
I wanna get to level 35 before i think about buying the game and a sub
Hey so what’s the max level for materia? I have a crapton of IV materias... should I sell em?
on another note. i had an account before my current one that i made when i was younger. square enix support said the account never existed but i have emails that prove otherwise
the highest grade of materia is 8 currently
i then proceed to reuse the email after that conversation
So is there a reason to keep the older materia? Can it be like infused into higher grade materia?
Or do I just get rid of em
Hey guys. Is it normal to have issues getting the launcher to accept your credentials?
so you could probably sell the grade 4s if you want, or try and gamble them for higher grade (or hope for crafting/gathering materia since those usually sell a bit better)
How do you gamble them?
are you able to log into the mogstation with the same credentials
at the bonfire, in central thanalan. you talk to mutamix to transmute them
I cant seem to login - I can get into the Square website using them, but the laucher just refuses to let me in.
which square website
because your store account is not the same one you use to log into the gamme
Welcome to the official SQUARE ENIX website. Find all the latest news and updates about your favourite games and upcoming releases.
Aw man, thats probably it then, isnt it?
How do I recover my creds to login to the launcher?
you need to either make an account on here or try and recover your ID/password if you had made one previous
So I'm on Aether, Sarg. If I transfer to Gilgamesh in Aether, can I transfer back to Sarg whenever I want?

Haha

But w can't see each other in world
There is a 3 day lockout period after transferring

I’m imagining weaker potions I should just sell?
There's really no use for regular HP potions, and most of the time, MP potions are only used by BLMs for an extra flare cast
Well, I say "most of the time" but that's really the only use for them
I hang onto them for leveling up alt jobs just in the event I'm out doing a fate or something and things get dicey
I just got the lominsan ring, is it good for anything or just like a nice thing to get
!item Lominsan Ring
Yeah I got it from the story, was just wondering if there was any practical purpose
It’s nice to have ig lmao
I watched the "Basically, which job" video that was pinned here. It was super helpful (and funny). Why is Blue Mage considered a joke?
I've noticed you don't see them as much?
they're a limited job
and intended to be basically side content/something to do for fun
ahhhh okay, i see, they're not really a regular class like black and red mages?
yeah
explains a lot! I've just noticed it's unlocked but couldn't see a guide/explanation
ty
yes
the exp points always go to the base class
it's why smn and sch level up concurrently
Hey so I want to uninstall ff14 and reinstall it onto my SSD. Will I lose all my configuration settings if I do that?
Will anything be lost really
I just cut and paste the game folder from one drive to another the other day and everything worked flawlessly. Didn't even have to redownload anything. I suppose I did have to redo some shortcuts but that's nothing.
As for losing settings when you uninstall.... I would assume you wouldn't lose anything unless it pops up and asks you if you want to delete everything
Though if you're paranoid, you can go make a backup of the Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn folder as that's where all that lives
You could also try using the ingame cloud save feature for your ui and settings
Not sure if it works for macros
I'd just make sure to at least back up your character folder somewhere just in case something breaks
what's "limited job" mean when hovering over the blue mage job ?
as in incomplete job?
wip?
I'll try the cloud feature
trying to unlock a relic reborn trials - but the npc gerolt didnt want to talk with me?
finished msq shadowbringers already
The relic questline starts in Vesper Bay
What’s the most popular us server
@frank anchor blue mage is capped at a lower level, has their own unique skill unlock system and can't normally queue up using duty finder like normal jobs
It's kind of a side content thing
Blue Mage is a basically a mini-game 
oh that's interesting 
one more thing, currently in an instance, is there a default key to use the limit breaker? not sure how to activate it but I see the bar flashing
Actions and traits window
One of the tabs there has Limit Break
Just plop it out on a hotbar
They try to tell you about it the first time you enter a dungeon. When you already have soooo much going on and oh look the tank has already ran away...
Happened to me too. "Alright, it's been 20 levels. When I do I get my limit break skill?!" lol
I found my LB button by randomly scrolling over action buttons

Hey so I wanted to ask: ff14 runs a bit poopy on my pc even though my pc is capable of running it very well. Also the shades and textures aren't good. Is there a way to fix this
How do the different ways to level FSH compare?
Am I right in thinking that Ocean Fishing and Ishgard Restoration are the most XP-centric ways?
leves are by far and away the best, especially since if you have the gil you can easily level it in no time by buying the fish and turning it in
that said though, ocean fish is a pretty hefty chunk of exp every 2hrs, collectables are good but can be a bit frustrating/inconsistent as subjected to rng since the collectability of the fish is decided by the size
restoration is fine if you're happy to plop down and just fish
Oh okay, I heard very conflicting opinions about leves like guides suggesting them to be out of date but alrighty
I unlocked collectables recently but I had no idea what the heck was going on when I found an unspoiled node
It's like they put a crafting gauge into gathering

collectables for botanist/miner can be a bit confusing since you're doing something similar to crafting
yeyeye
in that you're raising the collectability with skills
but fishing is pretty straight forward, you put on the collector's glove and fish
if you catch a collectable fish, you need to make sure its min collectability or better and then thats it
but then I have 3 kinds of appraisals and all seem to do the same thing but with different levels of risk, right? 
Ohhh okay, that's good info about fishing collectables though
I wanna say there's a collectability rotation in dol lounge, not a 100% sure
but can also join teh balance and check out their dol resource channel as i know there's some in there
I5 7600k
1060ti
I did look at some collect rotations but it raised more questions than answers
Cause I saw debates about whether low risk strats are better all around or high risk strats based on gear stats that I also don't understand the breakpoints of

@slate arrow
What's your average framerate?
also a 1060ti doesn't exist
do you mean 1050ti
because just off on a guess I'd assume with a few settings kicked down from max you'd get 60 minimum
if you have everything maxed out then yeah you'd run into issues
https://imgur.com/a/Jkg2u3o if you're still leveling/not got the greatest gear can use the low stat 600 gp scrip rotation, but if you've got decent gear can use the 600gp yellow scrip rotation
@native ingot see my reply above kaelwryn
if it a 1050ti then there's no way you can run FFXIV on max
my RX470 couldn't keep stable 60fps at max either and it's way stronger than 1050ti
a 1050ti is only slightly better than current gen intel integrated graphics
like for reference the base PS4 struggles with FFXIV in 2.0 areas sometimes
#technology-discussion if this gets a tad long but its super useful information that you should consider @native ingot
you're a tad long
Hey so im abit of a newbie to this, just hit 52 after a week or so of playing and rn im trying to setup a hotbar because im starting to let people die because im too slow due to spells being all over the place, though im kinda struggling with what should go where
